-------------------

This is a follow-up on my post earlier today. I was curious to find out
whether or not Ketel, Baron Kendal, was any sort of near contemporary of
Ketel Krok. Here is a chart lining things up, based primarily upon
ANCESTRAL ROOTS, charts 34 and 38:

Note that Ketil Krok, reputed son of Earl Tostig, is more or less
contemporaneous with Ketel, son of Eldred, Baron Kendal. Snorri
Sturluson omitted the Icelandic tradition that Ketil Krok and his brother
Skuli were sons of Tostig, saying rather that these two were of noble
English extraction. Is it possible that Skuli was a brother of Ketel,
Baron Kendal, son of Eldred?
I doubt there is any reason, beyond the name and the
chronological correlation, to identify Ketil Krok as Ketel, Baron
Kendal. The Icelandic tradition making them sons of Tostig could be true
after all.
(A final note about Gospatric's wife, 'sister of Eadmund.' There
is no proof that this Eadmund was King Harold II's son Eadmund, but it is
chronologically plausible, even if utterly unprovable--that's why I used
three question marks.)
